Inspectors visited Belvidere School on April 1 and 2 and have graded the school's personal development and leadership and management as 'Good'.

However, the secondary school's quality of education and behaviour and attitudes have been deemed to 'require improvement'.

The inspection was the first by the education watchdog since the school became an academy.
